YoonA sat down for an interview in which she opened up about her acting transformation as the rough-around-the-edges reporter Nam Da Jung for the drama.
Q: What do you think are Lee Bum Soo's charms?
A: "He seems like a serious person, but he is actually very humorous. I found that very charming. He often talks to me first, jokes around a lot, takes my one-word replies well, and makes me feel comfortable. I am thankful to him.
When I first read the script, I thought I would match well with the prime minister, and when we met for the first time during our script reading, we did. When he appeared on set as the prime minister, I thought to myself, '[He is] handsome.' He was really the straightforward prime minister Kwon Yool. Maybe it's because I also saw myself as Nam Da Jung that I found him handsome and my acting came naturally. This is the first time that I was able to channel my character this suddenly as I was acting. It is an honor for me to act alongside my sunbaenim."
Q: What image do you plan to show and what nickname do you think you'll get?
A: "I played kind and innocent characters in difficult situations up until now, and Nam Da Jung is quite similar, but her personality is carefree and has no sense. Although I played quiet and cute characters previously, this character is loud and stubborn. I am acting without thinking of being pretty. I thought of this acting transformation as a challenge, but once I acted out the character, I started to feel a lot of things. When I start a drama, I get called by many nicknames. I am anticipating what those nicknames will be this time."
Q: What did you do to prepare for 'Prime Minister and I'?
A: "I looked over the script many times. Among the dramas I've done, I've read the script for this drama the most, worked the hardest, and felt the most pressure. I always pray before starting each filming, and I've never prayed so hard before. I hope that this drama receives a lot of love and becomes memorable."
Q: Please say a message to the viewers.
A: "Please look forward to 'Prime Minister and I' and spread it through word of mouth once it airs. It will be a warm and cheerful drama during this winter. I hope this drama gives you laughs and warms your hearts."
Girls' Generation also shared a BTS photo on their official Twitter on the 20th, "YoonA at the set of drama (Prime Minister and I)."
